( I should have included a grossly insulting remark about Jesus or somethin' to make sure you'd leave it in place .) This blog is well known for it's lack of moderation and tolerance of totally off-topic comments. Why suddenly so sensitive about this one that you managed to find the seldom used delte button ? <br /><br />I think the point was that the President said in his speech that it's time for American businesses to start employing American workers first and foremost before they send work out of the country , and he intended to push for tax breaks for businesses (which could include animation companies like Dreamworks and Rhythm & Hues, etc.) who create new jobs for American workers instead of sending work to countries like India . How is that not the least bit relevant to this discussion about Dreamwork's involvement with an animation studio in India? <br /><br />I thought this was a positive statement from our President and I was proud of him for bringing up the subject of runaway off-shoring , and if what he was proposing happens (which I admit is probably doubtful, but hope springs eternal) it would be a good thing for many American workers including the ones who animate mice with a pencil or use a mouse to animate mice (or penguins, etc.)Confused lil' liberal union fellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-24285111595330281432010-01-28T09:56:34.921-08:002010-01-28T09:56:34.921-08:00I've yet to be impressed with any film coming ...I've yet to be impressed with any film coming from India.
